we've seen some wild high school football scores this season, including a couple of teams topping the 100-point mark and a 77-76 shootout out in California earlier this month. But none of those were quite as shocking as perennial Virginia powerhouse Oscar Smith (Chesapeake) doing the nearly impossible and beating rival Western Branch (Chesapeake) 2-0 – the lowest possible score in a football game outside of 0-0 – on Friday night.
This wasn't a forfeit, nor were there weather issues. Oscar Smith is undefeated this season (8-0) and entered the night averaging 45.8 points per game. The Tigers have won four state titles in the 2000s and are currently No. 4 in the state by the MaxPreps computer rankings.
Western Branch (8-2) is No. 17 in the same set of rankings and has been held under 30 just once all season. All signs pointed toward the scoreboard getting some serious work in this one.
A safety by Oscar Smith defensive back D.J. Etheridge was the difference Friday night. Ironically, he wears No. 20...2-0 get it? Instead of recapping the rest of a pretty uneventful contest in terms of producing offensive fireworks, we thought it would be more fun to share some hilarious reactions to the final score via Twitter.
